Yves Saint Laurent Body Kouros is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Annick Menardo.

This one's a cult classic, polarising some but adored by many as a divine, unique masterpiece. Forget the original Kouros; Body Kouros is its own beast - a sexy, warm, and mysterious scent that's sadly discontinued but definitely worth seeking out.

About

Body Kouros opens with a captivating, cool blast of eucalyptus and smoky incense, immediately setting it apart. As it settles, clary sage and cedar emerge, adding a green, woody depth that's both comforting and intriguing. The dry down is a smooth, sensual embrace of warm, balsamic benzoin, softened by a hint of vanilla-like sweetness, creating an almost creamy, ambery aura that lingers on the skin.
